THE ADVANTAGES OF 3D PRINTING IN PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURING
Speed and Agility
3D printing offers exceptional speed in prototyping, significantly reducing development times. Designers can iterate quickly on their designs, allowing greater flexibility and adaptability to changes in the design process. This agility is crucial for accelerating new products to market.
Realistic and Economical Prototypes
3D printing allows the creation of prototypes with a wide range of materials and colors, achieving results that approximate the final product. In addition, this technology is more economical for prototyping by eliminating costly molds and traditional tooling, allowing for a more cost-effective process in product development.
Recommended materials
PLA
PLA is ideal for printing prototypes due to its wide range of colors and attractive finish. In addition, being a safe and non-toxic material, it is a popular choice for rapid and efficient prototyping.
Flexible and Semi-flexible
Within the variety of materials available for 3D printing, there are also polymers with different levels of flexibility. Nylon, PP, PETG or TPU are some examples that allow replicating flexible behaviors in final products.
How to 3D print your prototypes with us?
Discover how 3D printing transforms the possibilities of rapid and accurate prototyping.
01. Prototype definition
Starting with your 3D model, technical drawing or image of your future product, we will first perform a feasibility analysis and then share our ideas for potential design improvements for successful 3D printing. Together, we will explore our variety of materials and colors to identify the perfect match that comes as close as possible to your final product.
02. 3D Printing preparation of the prototype
Once the materials, colors and resolution have been defined, we will dive into the preparation of the code for our printer. During this phase, we will meticulously review all parameters to ensure the highest quality 3D printing.
03. 3D printing of the prototype
Finally, we will start manufacturing your prototype, based on the specifications defined in previous stages. While lead times may vary depending on the design, it generally takes no more than a week to manufacture a prototype. We are committed to meet the delivery deadlines and to ship the prototype meticulously packaged in the shortest possible time.
